The Ryan family have something pretty cute going on. Father Dave and young daughter Claire have some real musical chemistry forming, and they showed their collaboration to the world with a cute rendition of ‘Let There Be Peace On Earth’. The little video they put together has gone viral this holiday season. One reason is that the song has a lot of significance at this time of year.
People come together during the Christmas holiday season and share love and happiness with their closest friends and family. It’s at this time we commiserate about the big issues facing ourselves and our entire globe at the moment, and a positive song like this one is just the remedy we need to feel good about the future.
Watch the video below to see her amazing performance!
Another reason for why this song went viral is because Claire is just so cute. It’s literally the cutest rendition of this song ever recorded and should make us all appreciate the beauty around us more often. The importance of family and spreading positive energy is the best way to enjoy life, and videos like this are great reminders of that.
You can see in the video how much Claire just loves being with her father and performing a song with him. She might not even know what the words of the song mean, but that does not matter!
It’s actually a song about the beauty of Jesus in the world. While Christians can feel confident and proud in the message of the song, the great lesson about this video is that you don’t have to be religious to enjoy religious music.
The song makes a great parable of God as light in the world, and putting emphasis on all the good he sheds every day. You can easily substitute God with doing good deeds, and then this song becomes all about sharing love and compassion in the world. If that’s not a message you can get behind then you should probably re-think your morals!
Someone who calls themselves an atheist should be able to appreciate this message. Clearly, they do because it’s become such a popular video on the web.
The Ryan family should definitely consider doing more of these videos. Perhaps they could do a series of covers doing Christian songs with a focus on the performance rather than the meaning of the words. With a singer like Claire leading the performance they are all bound to be popular.
There is something really special about watching kids perform. Whether it’s in sports, music, dance, or whatever else, parents can all relate to the joy of watching their kids learn a new skill and develop their chops.
With a few voice lessons as she gets older we might see Claire top the charts before she hits 20! All it takes is practice and devotion to her craft.
